Fwd: FW: News about the Copyright Amendment Bill
by Douglas Scott 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Hello everyone, FYI regarding the Copyright Amendment bill we are trying to get Freedom of Panorama included in. *ANC Legal Research Group’s Workshop* on Copyright Amendment Bill on *Saturday 14 October 2017* from *9-11am* will be on *SAFM *and Channel 404 on DSTV. Public can phone in with questions on 011-5358180 <011%20535%208180>. It will be streamed live on SABCNEWS.COM. Dr. Owen Dean and Prof. Karijker from Stellenbosch University’s IP Unit will be speaking and then 3 other people after them. *Legislation: Reworked Copyright Bill nears completion* Publish date: 11 October 2017 Issue Number: 4324 Diary: Legalbrief Today As work on redrafting the Copyright Amendment Bill gathers momentum, ‘more and more questions’ are surfacing according to parliamentary legal adviser Charmaine van der Merwe – who has nevertheless confirmed that ‘no policy changes’ have been made, reports Pam Saxby for Legalbrief Policy Watch. Where a policy decision is required, the provisions concerned have been flagged in a version of the Bill Van der Merwe believes will rectify all technical errors, inconsistencies and repetitive clauses identified during May’s public hearings. Only then will matters of policy be tackled by the National Assembly’s Trade and Industry Committee. Briefing committee members yesterday, Van der Merwe said that – while certain ‘phrases’ still need to be clarified – she is confident that the Bill’s ‘B’ version will make the Act far easier to understand from a technical perspective, once the amendments envisaged have been promulgated and incorporated. Although no timeframe was given for the completion of the reworked Bill and no discussion took place, committee chair Joan Fubbs expressed hope that the remainder of the drafting process will not take ‘too much longer’.

Fwd: Join our Tourism Hackathon: Make Cape Town even more awesome for visitors!
by Douglas Scott 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Hello everyone, The City of Cape Town is hosting a hackerthon for tourism. I thought this might be of interest to the Wikivoyage editors out there. See below for details. Cheers, Douglas. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Open Data <Open.Data(a)capetown.gov.za> Date: 11 October 2017 at 14:44 Subject: Join our Tourism Hackathon: Make Cape Town even more awesome for visitors! To: Could Cape Town be more awesome? Did you know that more than 70% of people visiting Cape Town visit the same ten tourist sites? We know there's more to the City, but can we help people find new things to do and new places to see? Together with the City of Cape Town, CiTi will host a hackathon from 27 – 29 October 2017 at the Khayelitsha Bandwidth Barn. The City's Open Data Hackathon will challenge teams to solve real problems faced by Cape Town's tourism industry. *Join us!* <http://citi.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=7b7cd928a214afb6a0a55544a&id…> Using a range of data available on the City of Cape Town's Open Data Portal <http://citi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b7cd928a214afb6a0a55544a&id=…> as well as provided specifically for this event, teams will grapple with the brief: *“Design a digital product that improves the discoverability of unique experiences for tourists in Cape Town.”* These days, most tourists are planning their own itineraries using online tools. We can attract more people to different parts of Cape Town and support more small business and "last mile" providers by making information easier for digital travellers to find. If you have tech and data skills, design skills, or just a passion for the tourism industry, we want you! Join us for a weekend of smart people, fun-fuelled problem-solving, and fantastic spot prizes. *Sign up on* Quicket <http://citi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b7cd928a214afb6a0a55544a&id=…> . *There will be transport available between Woodstock Bandwidth Barn and Khayelitsha Bandwidth Barn – please indicate whether you require transport in the sign-up form.* <http://citi.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=7b7cd928a214afb6a0a55544a&id…> <http://citi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b7cd928a214afb6a0a55544a&id=…> <http://citi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b7cd928a214afb6a0a55544a&id=…> *Copyright © 2017 Bandwidth Barn, All rights reserved.* You are receiving this as a friend of CiTi, The Bandwidth Barn and CapaCiTi and have opted in. *Our mailing address is:* Bandwidth Barn Woodstock Exchange, 3rd Floor, Block B 66 Albert Road, Woodstock <https://maps.google.com/?q=66+Albert+Road,+Woodstock%0D+%0D+Cape+Town,%0D+W…> Cape Town, Western Cape <https://maps.google.com/?q=66+Albert+Road,+Woodstock%0D+%0D+Cape+Town,%0D+W…> 7925 <https://maps.google.com/?q=66+Albert+Road,+Woodstock%0D+%0D+Cape+Town,%0D+W…> South Africa <https://maps.google.com/?q=66+Albert+Road,+Woodstock%0D+%0D+Cape+Town,%0D+W…> Add us to your address book <http://citi.us4.list-manage.com/vcard?u=7b7cd928a214afb6a0a55544a&id=ff6d30…> Want to change how you receive these emails?
